thanks Andy, saw your write up on the 383 stroker.would you consider any break in issues possible if useing EDM solid lifters on either a comp or hughes cam with the beehive spring ?as opposed to the schubeck type or would the hughes cam,possibly faster ramp,and greater lift be a stretch ? comp XTQ286S 550/570 gross lift Hughes HTL5660BS3 579/587 gross lift
thanks again,
Tex
